Gruta’s is one of those of places where you can eat well at a reasonable price. To a backdrop of stylish yet informal decor and a setting in an alleyway just off a shopping street, chef Rafaela Louzada, a Carioca from Rio but with Portuguese roots, focuses on a concise menu on which fish and seafood (mainly from the north of the country) take centre stage. Her dishes are high on presentation and flavour, combining Brazilian and Portuguese influences and a contemporary style of cooking.
